VIVIAN'S TV DINNER
By Karena Stoner

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

The theft of her lunch from the office refrigerator sends disillusioned pharmaceutical employee, Vivian West, on a quest for revenge that involves murder, mayhem, and hypoglycemia.

SYNOPSIS:

"Vivian's TV Dinner" reads like an updated, edgier, female-driven "Office Space." The high-powered, big money thrill of the pharmaceutical industry has long since faded for Vivian West, a thirty-something marketing professional. Disillusioned by industry and office politics—and conflicted by a blossoming romance with her boss and secret sexploits with her best friend Trixie—things come to a head during a late-night work session.

Overworked and under-nourished, Vivian snaps when someone steals her “plant-forward-gluten-free-dairy-free” frozen entree from the office refrigerator. In the process of hunting down the culprit, Vivian unwittingly witnesses a murder—or does she? With the help of Trixie, Vivian tracks down the truth… both about what she saw and about who she is.

Quirky and irreverent, “Vivian’s TV Dinner” dishes on one girl’s daring dive into frozen dinners, death and dildos.
